    Great addon, it's awesome for recruiting. I suppose I'm using the addon as intended by posting a recruitment message every 5 minutes.

    Anyway to reply on the posts below. I had the same issue with setting up and enabling Autoflood on alts as well. But you can work around this by logging out of the game and editing the settings lua file. You can find the file in %wow_root%/WTF/Account/%accountname%/SavedVariables/AutoFlood.lua and copy/paste/fill in the next block of code:

    ["REALMNAME-CHARACTERNAME"] = {
    ["message"] = "Fill in your message here",
    ["channel"] = "2", -- Trade
    ["idChannel"] = "2", -- Trade
    ["rate"] = 300, -- Rate in seconds
    ["system"] = "CHANNEL",
    },

    Good addon but the problem for me is i can't make it work on any of my alts but only on my main. When i enable it on an alt my fps drop dramatically

    The addon is broken for me.

    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. type any of addon's slash commands

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    I get this error whatever slash command I try to execute (besides /floodhelp), no other addons are running:

    Message: Interface\AddOns\AutoFlood\AutoFlood.lua:121 attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
    Time: 11/10/10 20:00:55
    Count: 1
    Stack: Interface\AddOns\AutoFlood\AutoFlood.lua:121 in function `AutoFlood_Info'
    Interface\AddOns\AutoFlood\AutoFlood.lua:264 in function `?'

    Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3717 in function `ChatEdit_SendText'
    Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3755 in function `ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed'


    Locals: s = ""MESSAGE" is sent every RATE seconds in channel /CHANNEL."
    (*temporary) = defined =[C]:-1
    (*temporary) = ""MESSAGE" is sent every RATE seconds in channel /CHANNEL."
    (*temporary) = "MESSAGE"
    (*temporary) = nil
    (*temporary) = "Aszune-Creampie"
    (*temporary) = 1
    (*temporary) = "attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)"

    ---
    And loads instances of this error when I use /floodmsg

    Message: Interface\AddOns\AutoFlood\AutoFlood.lua:98 attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

    Can be configured to start automatically spam when I loged in?
  • #19
    love this addon!
  • #17
    hmm I thought I set it up right. I set it for 5 minutes aka 300000 ms. It hasn't repeated itself yet, the default channel is trade. Any ideas?
  • #18
    The /floodrate command expects seconds, not milliseconds !
    For 5 minutes type /floodrate 300
  • #16
    Have a nice setup here, like to see a gui :)

    @Necromortus, joe_speeded, Elsu: This addon is not intended to bother other players with intensive spam.

    Spammers don't need such an addon to send intensive spam.

    Players who send abusive spam using AutoFlood will simply be BL or reported by other players and even banned my GM's !

    Use /flood responsibly ! :)

    Personnally, I use for advertisement messages a rate of 180 seconds (3 minutes). If you want your message to be noticeable, you can combine AutoFlood with my WowDings addon to include cool graphical characters in it :)

    The ability to set a very short period (min 10 seconds, which can be changed by editing the code) is intended for raid/boss encounters when you sometimes need to send a periodical warning to your teammates.

    /floodinfo sais:
    "AutoFlood is enableded". typo?
  • #13
    OOps, thanks !

    Fixed

    Nice addon, but it turns off every time you leave channel, and doesn’t auto turns on when you enter back.

    For example, set flooding in "Trade - City" channel, fly away and back, and addon would not spam anymore… You have to type /flood again…
  • #12
    No it doesn't. When you leave a channel, messages are still sent but silently fail because you are not in the channel anymore.
    When you go back to the channel, your message will not be sent until the period counter reaches zero. If you want to reset the counter, juste type /flood on
    By the way, if you disconnect you have to start the /flood again

    Why's everyone being an asshole? The guy spent time to make this addon, I dont see any addons by you guys...

    Thanks for the addon, might come in handy one day
